VP: Release Notes
From Sonikmatter
VP 0.2.4 Beta
New Features
FEATURE ADDED: Data Entry Line
When you click in the Data Entry Line could all text be autoselected, so you can start typing over it. Click again to edit current text. Like selecting a Microsoft Excel cell.
---
Feature added in 0.2.4 Beta: All text is selected in the entry line whenever it gains focus.
Bug Fixes
BUG FIXED: Fetch doesn't return to original page
When the F* button is pressed when you on a page, it doesn't return to that page after it has finished interrogating the program.
BUG FIXED: LOPTS for Drawbars need 2 settings
In KB3 programs, the Drawbar settings can range from 0-8 or 0-127 depending on the setting of Steps. VP doesn't account for this.
Bug FIXED: LOPTS for KB3 Mode Tune doesn't work
LOPTS on any of the tune parameters doesn't work, even using manual methods. The reason is that the range is -127 to +127, but there are only 3 characters allowed, so -127 reads as -12, but the value is -127. Similarly -126 reads as -12, etc.
Fixed in 0.2.4 Beta - Added LOPTS RANGE <high> <low> which allows LOPTS range for numeric valued fields to be entered directly. For this case the command would be LOPTS RANGE 127 -127
BUG FIXED: Ctrl list regression bugs
Fixed a couple of small printing/format bugs introduced in the last bug fix cycle.
VP 0.2.3 Beta
New Features
F* Button
Works like the F (Fetch Layer) button except that it fetches all layers.
Additional fault tolerance
Although I try to be very careful and transmit commands to the Kurzweil only as fast as it can process them, occasionally the Kurzweil drops some of the commands. New code instruments a feature in which VP detects this situation and re-transmits the appropriate commands.
LOPTS Indication
LOPTS button flashes when right-clicking on a field when no LOPTS is available for that field. (Thats is, you might want to click it an generate the LOPTS for that field.)
Bugs Fixed
BUG FIXED: Pan ctrl (Pan keyword) is misrecognized
OS:Win Kurz:K2600
The Pan keyword is misrecognized in some places and erroneously listed as the Pan ctrl.
Fixed in 0.2.3 Beta: "Pan" is no longer erroneously identified
BUG FIXED: Page list selection does not honor Layer/Zone selection
OS:Win Kurz:K2600
Page list selection does not use the currently selected Layer/Zone (right side buttons) that is being viewed.
Fixed in 0.2.3 Beta: Works now.
BUG FIXED: Object rename should also update the name cached in VP during an edit
OS:Win Kurz:K2600
Object rename should also update the name cached in VP during an edit.
Fixed in 0.2.3 Beta: Name now updates properly.
CANNOT REPRODUCE: Last object name in ProgramMode (probably Setup mode also) does not update properly
OS:Win Kurz:K2600
Last object name in ProgramMode (probably Setup mode also) does not update properly. Don't know when this happens, possibly all of the time, possibly when a new object is created.
Cannot reproduce: This might be a version (or confused with) the BUG reported above.
BUG FIXED: Ctrl List did not clear between L/Z changes
OS:Win Kurz:K2600
Caused some ctrl to be erroneously reported.
Fixed in 0.2.3 Beta: Now clears properly.
BUG FIXED: Misc Ctrl list special cases
OS:Win Kurz:K2600
Caused some ctrls to be erroneously reported.
Fixed in 0.2.3 Beta: These cases have been corrected.
VP 0.2.2 Beta
Get the VP 0.2.2 Beta installation kit on the VAST Programmer Forum.
New Features & Improvements
- VP now receives and files dumps from the Kurzweil. Both bulk dumps and individual object dumps are supported.
- VP can now send dumps back to the Kurzweil (use the SEND command).
- Added Mute, Mark, Jump, etc, button labels during object edits.
- Numerous bug fixes (see next section).
Bug Fixes
Bug: Back doesn't seem to change the values back, only goes to the previous screen.
Not a bug: This is like Forward & Backward on an Internet Browser.
Bug: Clicking LOPTS scrolls through values, but leaves it on the lowest value, not the one it was on before.
Fixed in 0.2.2 Beta: Now leaves the value where it started after it is completed.
Bug: SNAG Command writes 0 byte files
Fixed in 0.2.2 Beta: The SNAG command was not robust. User probably typed a bogus image type name. VP now enforces correct type names.
Bug: SNAG Command appends the extension twice when the extention is specified.
Fixed in 0.2.2 Beta: Filetype extension can be optionally supplied in the next beta.
Bug: Env pages - Click to update at the right, doesn't show the graph. Pressing the sync button works though.
Fixed in 0.2.2 Beta: Got rid of "Click to update", hitting "Sync" is just as easy.
Bug: LOPTS and LOPTS Inc don't work on "CurrentDisk" field on the Disk Page.
Cannot reproduce: Worked for me. Who knows? Anyway, the LOPTS for this field will be in the next beta metafile.
Bug: Sample Page - Mode and Thresh both appear not as fields.
Fixed in 0.2.2 Beta: Oddball fields. I added these manually. These fields will be in the next beta metafile.
Bug: MAST 2 Page doesn't work
Fixed in 0.2.2 Beta: It does now
Bug: GM Page doesn't work
Fixed in 0.2.2 Beta: It does now.
Bug: EQ Bypass - Soft Buttons 2-4 are mislabelled as Q - They should be EQ 1-4
Fixed in 0.2.2 Beta: They are correct now.
Bug: In Large View Mode - Program Mode doesn't update.
Fixed in 0.2.2 Beta: Added a message that indicates Large view mode not supported. It is all graphics plane stuff. Performance would suck!
Bug: Scrolling on Midi port selection lists in Config dialog doesn't work.
Fixed in 0.2.2 Beta: Scrolling works now.
Bug: I broke type-in for numbers with decimal point. You had to leave out the decimal point for it to work.
Fixed in 0.2.2 Beta: Works now with decimal point.
Bug: Can't LOPTS Program/Setup field in QAccess edit.
Fixed in 0.2.2 Beta: For some reason this field has no "Type-in" equivalent. No big deal. It is only a toggle anyway. In the next version I handle 2 state LOPTS in a groovy new way which "fixes" this issue.
